You are what you launch: how software became a lifestyle brand

I'm sorry, I know it's tangential, but how was anyone able to read all that AI fluff?

It wasn't just frustrating, it was terribly repetitive. It's not ~~just~~ the content of the post, it's the way that it's written. And the AI authorship disclaimer? Missing. (Not that that would've made the contents much better, but it would've made it a bit more palatable and feel less sneaky.)

I noticed, but carried on given how the topic was treated. Made an exception, only this time. Next time I'm calling it out.

Not everything you dislike is AI. I don't see any signs at all of AI authorship.

I actually didn't dislike the premise of the article at all, and agree with some/many of the points (I've even favourite'd it). It showed a perspective I hadn't explicitly thought of before.

The sentence structures I mentioned in my earlier comment are what are often associated with AI. Once you start noticing them, you'll find them a lot on online content. Lmk if you want to learn more, there's a YouTube video on identifying AI comments. I had independent found many of them myself, which would be very unlikely if these were genuinely not ai language traits.
